skin deep - ryan griffin lyrics

[verse 1]
i could be a soldier, a hero with a purple heart
i could be a kid that grew up
without a fighting chance from the start
i could be a teacher, a phd from an ivy league
i could be a mother or a father
someone’s son or someone’s daughter

[chorus]
what you can read on this cardboard sign
is a story of a broken life
still got dreams, still got hopes
even though they’re running low
you don’t see everything that i lost
how much it hurts, yeah, and what it all cost
i ain’t asking, “why, god? why?”
i’m just praying i’ll get by
but you’re gonna see what you wanna see
if you’re only looking skin deep

[post*chorus]
ooh*ooh*ooh

[verse 2]
might’ve made a couple wrong turns
might be playing with the hand i was dealt
you might see see me on the corner
and think i don’t deserve no help
but if you walk in my shoes for a minute
not from the outside, but right here in it
you would see we ain’t that different
ain’t that different, no
[chorus]
what you can read on this cardboard sign
is a story of a broken life
still got dreams, still got hopes
even though they’re running low
you don’t see everything that i lost
how much it hurts, yeah, and what it all cost
i ain’t asking, “why, god? why?”
i’m just praying i’ll get by
but you’re gonna see what you wanna see
if you’re only looking skin deep, oh*oh

[post*chorus]
skin deep, oh*oh*oh

[bridge]
yeah, we all need a hand sometimes
a second chance to get it right
and i hope you know the next time you pass by
